I bought myself a Gelicious Nail Polish kit and wow, I am really impressed with the results and combines beautifully with Konad Nail Designs. Yes it does take a little more time but the picture above is seven days after the initial application and still looks absolutely gorgeous!

The kit came with UV lamp, a top coat and a color. Bought an additional couple of colors and a base coat.

When applying do not go right to the edge of the nail at the base. I found the polish will spread out a little and by going right to the edge I found pooled a little ending up with a very think edge.

Clean and buff nails.

Do one hand at a time for the next steps

Apply Gelicious Base Coat. This is an optional step but one I prefer to use.

Cure under UV lamp for 1 minute.

Apply a thin coat of color. My pick for this design is Aphrodisiac, a sparkly pink.

Cure under UV lamp for 1 minute.

Apply a second thin coat.

Cure under UV lamp for 1 minute.

Apply Top Coat.

Cure under UV lamp for 2 minutes.

Using a cotton ball and Acetone Nail Polish Remover, wipe over each nail. This will clean off any sticky residue and leave a gorgeous shine. At this stage the nails are stunning and can be left as is but I couldn't help but see how konad would work with the Gelicious polish.
